Nor does a 30 GB hard drive (and I use very little HD space). THat 14 " screen will not make you a happy camper either.

During the wireless setup, you can enter a security "key." The neighbors can see your network, but can't get into it without your key code.

Using WPA (the security key) should be enough for all but the extremely paranoid. Count me in that group. I turn off my SSID broadcast. Then your neighbors can't even see your wireless router. You can find that in the router control panel. I also specify the network card address that can access my router. That feature is not usually found on cheaper routers. That makes it almost hacker proof. There is no such thing as complete security, unless you don't connect your computer to anything.
